I still believe that the killer knew the layout of the house.The room she was found in was a hidden room.It wasn't a room that someone would find while committing a murder. The maid never knew the room existed and neither did the cops after performing several searches of the area.There were no footprints in the fresh snow around the house and there were no signs of forced entry.The ransom note is another thing that bothers me.Who would write a ransom note while in the process of kidnapping a girl from a room right next to her sleeping parents? He/she must have known they had plenty of time to write a letter and find a pen and paper in a strange house.I'm not saying the parents are guilty but they have to be suspects if the evidence can be trusted.

I saw a theory on a FR thread that would explain some of this. Someone said that JB had told some people that she was expecting a special visit from Santa Claus that night. If she thought this pervert was SC, she could have let him into the house or certainly given him iced tea, etc without alarm. The Freeper also suggested that he could have asked her if there was a "special" or "secret" room in the house and under the circumstances, she might have shown it to him. I can see it easily with a 6 yr old particularly since she would have been very trusting of SC.
